well, too long to read now, but the half i did read was a load of biased crap! the vpc is using case-precedents from the supreme court that if read by members of this site, would surely create violent gastronomical response! [puke]
it only proves that the SCOTUS was at one time run by antis, and that their findings, although legally DEFINE the Constitution, were plainly un-Constitutional. [V]
p.s. Libertyof76, you reading this???

Their interpretation of Miller is excessively expansive for their side. The case didn't hinge on whether Frank Miller was a member of the National Guard (he wasn't.) It had to do with the nature of the arm, a sawed off shotgun. If they wanted to limit arms to the national guard they could have simply noted that he wasn't a member, then knocked off early for beers.

^I sure hope he is right.
Reading the VPC article has made me realize that I need to carefully think through my position about felons owning firearms. I think the discussion we had about the limits of the 2nd ammendment was a good start. [url]http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?id=48852[/url]
